I took a "Mental Health Day" on Friday... and frankly, legitimately needed one. I feel as though there is an "800 pound gorilla with an albatros on its shoulder" standing at the horizon looking at me. I need to completely disconnect from the world around me on Friday. This entire weekend. I have avoided the internet. Avoided blogs and blogging. Avoided MySpace. Avoided Facebook. Avoided my online shops. Avoided. Avoided. Avoided.
Ironically, some of the greater pressing issues in my head have miracously resolved themselves (almost) over the weekend. >Poof< There's still one though... the "gorilla"... and it's a BIG FUCKING GORILLA... but I'd rather not go into details. I'd rather not feed it... but I feel a resolution coming to this one too... by October.
I been avoiding my mother a lot lately too, and I feel the small gnawing bites of "guilt". I don't speak with her daily anymore. I don't rearrange my life or schedule to go see her every weekend anymore. Am I being vindictive? I hope not... I don't think so. I'm honestly not angry anymore. I just can't continue to do this dance with her.
They finally found and identified a medical condition in regards to my father. It's a localized infection he may have been fighting for quite some time. He's on antibiotics for that.
It's a nice quiet Monday here at work. I'm virtually alone on the floor. I'm going to go swing by a few blogs real quick and get to work.
